Palestinian civilians are not Hamas.

Do you have this in article form, by any chance?

I was off Facebook for years, and was never a heavy user, but I had to get back on because the school my daughter goes to sends out so many notifications that way.

Facebook is very ingrained in how business and groups interact these days, what’s an individual to do? Disconnect from the world and miss important school notifications, among other things?

Plus the “stealing” isn’t just from people using the platform, it’s also in wages and benefits for employees. Why aren’t they getting a bigger share of those profits they worked to produce?

Go on, do it, the theory ones anyway. Fuck Russia, fuck China, skip the propaganda for those two.

Learning something new can’t hurt you, though 😉

I just came home from work and my older dog PROMISES my husband forgot to feed him (husband is asleep so I can’t ask)

He’s a lucky boy, he almost never lies and my husband is known to be forgetful 😂 plus even I’d rather accidentally give him bonus dinner than send the old man off to bed hungry.

Wait what happened with Meghan Markle? Something recent?

Gilmore Girls and KOTOR… Maybe Rory is Darth Revan, with Paris as Bastila. … I can see it.

I do not get how you’re so confused.

It’s not that he was “entitled” to money, it’s that money would have made taking his handle less of a dick move. Elon is a multi billionaire, he could have thrown a tens of thousands of dollars at this dude and had a good PR situation for his generosity, and not even noticed the dip in his bank account. Instead the story is that he’s an asshole who treats his users like shit if they have something he wants.

So here we are, calling him an asshole. How is that confusing?

As do pizza joint employees.

Some of us will never be able to forget…

… right. Because republicans control Texas and the grid. A grid that already killed people a couple years ago. A grid that people aren’t convinced the republican leadership has fixed. A grid that’s being heavily used under this heatwave. That just makes sense to me.

What else would you expect in the comments? I expect talk about climate change, the grid, and how republicans have fucked up both of those things. I don’t expect people to be saying, “Sure is a scorcher today!”, Or casual chats about lemonade recipes. Those days are gone.

🤷🏼‍♀️ He hurts the right people, I guess.

And too many people who would vote against the current leadership don’t vote at all. It’s been really frustrating trying to convince some of my friends to vote. Even some LGBTQ+ friends of mine don’t vote. I guess they think it doesn’t matter, that better candidates won’t win anyway. Voter apathy is a bitch, man.

Texans are worried because of the previous track record: The winter storm that froze people to death because the supply couldn’t keep up with demand. Our grid was incredibly close to a whole shit down, which would have killed even more people. All of which happened because the people in charge of such things didn’t prepare for a winter storm like that despite being warned that it was necessary like a decade ago.

And heat is no joke. So yeah, we worry. We have kids, elderly family and friends, pets, and healthy adults are also not immune. When demand skyrockets we get worried because people have already died and we don’t want to see that happen again. We’re also very aware of how often we’re told things are “fixed” when nothing has actually been done. So we cross our fingers, and we sweat, and we hope the grid doesn’t shut down and kill us. Sorry our worrying and upvoting of the topic bothers you.

There are lots of hobby communities, art, music, games, mechanical keyboards, fancy pens, gardening, birding, I could go on…

I find new hobby communities often on All. There’s also a community for announcing new communities, that might help you round out your interests.

If you go on the Lemmy website you can browse a never ending list of communities (some apps may also have this? Idk). And more are added every day. Lemmy is still young and growing. Have patience. Or don’t, I’m not the boss of you.

Not the person you’re asking but we can be mad at both. Companies are evil, profit driven, employee exploiters. We know this, and we must force them to treat their workers like humans. Failure by the government to force companies to treat their workers like humans is something we should be mad at the government for.

We want the government to step in BECAUSE we’re mad at the companies and want to change the companies policies.

If you told me that was a picture of Zuck’s grandpa I’d believe you.

I thought they were talking to a taller, pants and snowhat wearing version of themselves and I was so confused…

But the other edgy teenage atheists grew up too. Mature, adult, atheists can be really cool to hang with! We don’t talk about religion hardly ever in my friend group. The difference is that religion doesn’t influence our conversation at all, which can be really nice.

I bet there’s also a difference between “raised atheist” and “raised religious and rebelling”. My atheist kid forgets religion exists until living in America/Texas brings it up

I’ve never related so much to a cartoon starfish, he looks exactly how I feel inside while waiting for the shower to warm up😂

I dunno what’s wrong with your crop job, it looks fine on my screen. It sucks that those are the only comments so far.

In “Community Info” rule 2 says they don’t have the bandwidth to moderate political discussion.
